Great video! I just ordered the Pyxis and luckily I already have an L mount cine set of glass, V mount with rods and cheesplate, atoms monitor, top handle, side grip,Matte box/filters and Dji's Lidar. So All I need to buy are some Cfast cards and my Cinematography is about to change !! For an amazing price.

Also , I love your channel , good lighting , good quality . I have my bones to pick w the pyxis , which are the fixed monitor , no pro res support and the 13 stops of DR ..., other than those its a good cam for the price. I would love to see rig breakdowns , Universal rigs that work across multiple systems forexample ( other than the cage and a few stuff ofc. ) . Its not something that the community needs , it is very easy to make a good rig if u have the parts , but I assume ( considering the views on rig builds ) that everyone enjoys to see a nice rig ! and also it is helpful to hear if a part regulary breaks or does not work well after a short period of time . That would have saved me from getting 3 smallrig monitor mounts and getting a kondor blue instad or an Ifootage magic arm.

Thanks so much for the constructive feedback, it's much appreciated. I think for me, any camera of choice comes down to its end use and result for the client and there are always compromises no matter which one it is. Good to hear your ideas on universal rigging solutions. I've had a few ideas around making a video on pieces of invaluable/universally usable kit when it comes to rigging my camera, so I'll be sure to look into it in future videos.

Honestly, even though out of my price range the most expensive kit you put together seemed like a pretty decent price to me. I shoot L-mount so fortunatley I have lenses, I already have a Ninja V, V-mount battery and CF cards so luckily for me the price really accomadtes me as an L-mount user. I've waitied a long time to have one cam for stills (s5II) and one for cinematography, this finally looks like a viable options (fingers crossed).

Blackmagic always seem to offer great price/performance value, even with their production cameras that they know will require additional kit.

when the CFXPress Cards are so cheap now a days why anyone will go with External SSD Drives. box camera is perfect with Internal storage cards are safe to.

@goodfitkit 2 месяца назад

CFexpress Type B definitely protects against any points of failure coming from external cabling, which can be a high priority for some users given the environment they are filming in. After a quick check on Amazon the cost of a 512GB CFexpress type B card from Lexar (£151), Angelbird (£128) and Sandisk (£290!) at a mean average of cost of £189 still outweighs the cost of a 500GB Samsung T7 SSD at £73.99, or even 1TB at £99.99, from your local Argos in the UK at least. I think Blackmagic are still aware of that disparity in price with the inclusion of the usb-c expansion port and the SSD mounting plate coming with the PYXIS as standard. How much are CFexpress type B cards where you are?

the vmount adapter might fit but it will cover the battery unlock button and the on and off switch at the back of phyxis

@goodfitkit Месяц назад

Great observation. It seems from the Pyxis site that the medium sized bp-u still protrudes slightly out the back of the camera body. With the adaptor using the same dimensions as the larger bp-u it should leave plenty of room for operation of the camera’s rear buttons with the v-mount attached. This is of course one option, where could always use a rig mounted v-lock battery with a d-tap out if you wanted to ensure a clearer operation at the back of your setup.

@johanwilen2230 2 месяца назад

Great tips. I think you missed out on ND-filter solution. (If you dont own it already)

@goodfitkit 2 месяца назад

Good call. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but I would’ve loved to have seen some built in ND with the PYXIS. Why it wasn’t included and yet is in BMPCC 6K Pro I’ll never know.

@poti732 2 месяца назад

The ninja V has an SDi module.

@goodfitkit 2 месяца назад

Another great option for those looking to utilise what they already have. The cost of the module is comparable to the budget monitoring options I cited, but you then get to enjoy the familiarity of the interface and added benefit of field recording, should you need it.

@poti732 2 месяца назад

@@goodfitkit that os true but it does offer you a backup for your recording! You can record to the ninja V even if pro res raw is not supported for the camera.

@smalldeekgeorge 2 месяца назад

You can use any m2 ssd with usb 3.2 enclosure. It will cost less then 60 usd per 1tb

@goodfitkit 2 месяца назад

Even better! Though I can’t speak to the longevity of other brands, I’ve been more than happy with the various Samsung T and Evo series SSDs I’ve used for a while now. It seems the form factor of the T7s would work well with the PYXIS given the size of the mounting plate. Albeit, it’s pretty straight forward process of re-housing most SSDs to a case of your choice.

Singularity of power source? Purchase consideration? Return on investment?

@goodfitkit Месяц назад

Thanks for the questions Ken. I like to power most of my kit using the same battery system. I like to help buyers consider what camera to invest in if they’re going to spend their hard earned and make a purchase. For professionals like me who are going to buy a camera like the PYXIS, they can also factor in how much money this camera will earn them during the course of their ownership, in as much as a more expensive camera won’t always mean making more money and therefore reduce your profit margin. Hope this helps.

1st - All the box cameras need to be rigged out. So of course the price is not ' All you can eat'. Otherwise just use phones. 2nd- Pyxis is in fact the cheapest box camera can do 6k open gate full frame in the market and have amazing workflow, especially BM ecosystem like DR, cloud etc 3rd- Pyxis seems to be useful for ppl who already have kits and now can utilise the new box camera without spending way too much. 4th - It seems to be not for newbies or Vloggers who trying to compare a cinema/ production camera with a smart phone, dslr, or hybrid cameras.

@goodfitkit 2 месяца назад

Great observations. To the professional eye the design of the PYXIS immediately sets it apart as a production camera in need of additional or existing gear, also determining its target market. Even with these additions the price/performance ratio is still pretty hard to beat.

@poti732 2 месяца назад

Its not something that You will see on professional sets, it is not for newbies but not for professionals either. The side monitor is not on the AC-s side, it has 13 stops of dr w no pro res support, it needs more minimum one more SDI , the XLR is not full sized and only has ONE. The price is cool , ofc we all know that box cameras need to be rigged out , thats the point. Still if you have a built in screen it SHOULD EITHER BE SOMETHING THST YOU CAN SEE OR ON THE RIGHT SIDE SO THE AC CAN SEE IT .

@plutoX1982 2 месяца назад

@@poti732 agree to all of that. It doesnt have all but this will still do the jobs, 'mid range' jobs and definitely can make money back. If you afford a more professional one then you can upgrade according specific jobs. I watched Grand interview few year back, and his mantra was very clear 'Is to give people tools so that they can get familiar with professional workflows without breaking the budget before upgrading to a more serious system for their work and become successful'. This completely make alo ot sense. I really love to have a box camera that having all the features you have mentioned but I dont have 20k.

@poti732 2 месяца назад

@@plutoX1982 nah l u dont need 20k , used komodos go for 5-6 , kinefinity is even cheaper , there is the panasonic cube cam , the Z cam . These are all between reasonable price ranges, all boxes . They have every feature other than the XLR that iv listed above. Point being.. we could have gotten a REALLY GOOD BALCKMAGIC BOX for a bit more money, these are not huge things to fix. Add pro res support, make the screen tiltable or on the right side , give one but full sized xlr and one more sdi , nobody would care about the 13 stops of dr if we have all that.

@plutoX1982 2 месяца назад

@@poti732 feel like you are mentioning about the ursa mini. I dont want a used komodo for 6k. 3k is completely fine and fit my job as I got all the accessories. Just need a evf. Anyway, already preordered and happy with it. 😅
